MamaBear...uh, no. They locked me up because I called a crisis line drunker than a skunk. That is no reason to lock someone up. Its the fact that I went on and on(on the phone mind you) and the person on the other end didnt have the best judgment, because you see, when people are locked up...
Possibly...but in my opinion..and i've even told my former shrinks this---if i wanna go, i'm not gonna call someone to prevent me from doing it..i'll (as Nike used to say in their ads) Just do it
Maybe
True
True again, but I posed no threat to myself or others. They locked me up because i was...
I prefer flipping a bird to running.
But at the same time..I think I'm so gone mentally that it's like I've mentally run as far as I can and can run no further.
I had been dry for like 3 or 4 months...then out of frustration decided to get drunk. Prior to this, I'd only down 105 vodka, but saw some 151 vodka and got plastered out of my gourd. It seems when I drink, many times I'll get really depressed (alcohol's a depressant..so not really a shocker...
I so believe it. I have a cousin that was in it from the age of 5 on...at 14 he flipped 'em a bird, went on his own and did lots and lots of naughty stuff.His brother stayed til 18 and has been in prisons a good share of his life. But then they have their older sister who because an evangelist.
I love QEEG...used to get it. Would see my eeg print up from the beginning of the session and one from the end of the session---there was always a difference
Also, the doc combined the neurofeedback with a light/sound machine--absolutely synergistic
Dont say you're nuts--you're putting yourself down, that isnt good. I agree with jade..sometimes u can be your own worst enemy. I know I have been for years and am trying to change that
My favorite saying: that which does not kill me makes me stronger...funnily, the american psychology...
I have for grinded 'em for like 10 yrs to my knowledge...i use those rubber/plastic mouthguards every night..and even sometimes during the day when I"m home alone
PTSD sucks and it's totally understandable why someone would want to hit the bottle to *treat* it, but one of us PTSD'ers trying to treat ourselves is like a doctor doing heart surgery on him/her self--it doesnt work. It's my understanding that in order to treat probs effectively, its best to...
Congrats on the 20 yrs sobriety...i'm approaching my 2nd dry month
You say u had PTSD 'back then'...what made it a thing of the past? I hope i'm not being too personal..if so..u could always not reply. I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired..i know that sounds trite and the phrase is...
I dont feel like i fit in anywhere either..i always feel like a round peg in a square hole...but that's ok. IMO..its better than being boring..and if people dont like/accept u..just flip 'em a bird and go your merry way
have a good one~!
I have the cutest turtles. I purchased them when they were the size of a quarter--absolutely adorable...they're also illegal, so kinda like outlaws LOL I Love 'em
ROFLMFAOPMP....i like so told my supervisor I had ptsd----the idiot said " i have PTSD too..what's that?" ABSOLUTE MORON!!!!!!!!!!
the moron is also causing me infinite stress cuz he's like 5'2"...and this stupid moron whose under five feet high harrassed me(i'm 5'9")....frankly, i believe he...
LOL did u know that on youtube that there is a video of Benny Hinn *healing* people...with people falling to the floor to that song? LOL omfg..cracks me up..
You're right, just cuz u feel it doesn't mean u have to do it. The quote that helps me get thru the day and more likely to address various issues rather than run from them is Nietzsche's That which does not kill me makes me stronger
I gotta get though...15 minutes to finish my hair and get out...
I've researched too. I ODed on dilantin...which was supposed to be lethal--according to the Physicians Desk Reference anyway...I really should sue the publishers for giving me false information LOL
I actually agree with u though about the best thing about death being that the pain is gone...but...
I've been that way for so long that it really doesnt bother me. I've attempted a couple times via OD. Have thought about gettin a gun...but I truly believe that knowing my luck, the gun would explode in my hand and i'd just be worse off than I already am. I know this might sound infinitely...
I am totally on your page. I'm not currently on antianxiety meds, but have been thinking about askin a shrink for an antianxiety Rx(countless attacks lately). Have u thought about contacting your doc and requesting either an increased dosage or a different or additional antianxiety med?
I am a female and I can shock most men and seem tougher than them---kinda animalistic. I dont really believe that is me, but it's a role I play to feel safe . I also have noted that when I feel threatened, I don't blink---again, kinda animalistic
Is being animalistic common/normal for PTSD?
I...
Anthony--
I'm very thankful for that list and will definitely be looking into it. I cant afford a headshrink so I gotta try to be my own...self help books can be useful that way...
Just wondering if any of y'all found any particular books helpful in dealing with the reason you're at this forum. I am currently not seein a shrink(can't afford 'em) but would still like to address with some issues
For me, the ones listed below have been helpful:
1. Trances People Live by...
Runaway by Bon Jovi
You were living in another world tryin' to get your message through
No one heard a single word she said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your head
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she works the night away
He wasnt isolating himself from u...he was just isolating himself. Trust me, there's a difference. I have been with my sig other for 6 years and still I could cut ties, move far away and start anew as if I never met him. Those that suffer from PTSD have experienced serious trauma(s) that most...
OMFG..I go totally psycho right before that time of month(which I hate cuz I'm a control freak). I really truly hate it. I do whatever I can to minimize the PMS,, like totally OD on Evening Primrose Oil & Black Cohosh. They really make a difference
